To suggest a shared activity ("Let's do something"), Farsi uses the imperative form of "to come" (**بیا** or **بیایید**) followed by the main verb in the **present subjunctive** (usually starting with **بـ**). Because you are saying "Let's", the main verb takes the "we" ending (**ـیم**).

### Speaking to One Person (**بیا**)

Use **بیا** when addressing one friend or peer.

### Speaking to a Group (**بیایید**)

Use the plural form **بیایید** when addressing multiple people or speaking formally.

### Saying "Let's Not"

To suggest *not* doing something, keep the introductory "come" verb positive and make the main verb negative (swap the **بـ** prefix for **نـ**).
